Funny exchange in the thread:

Will people unaffiliated with SMU know to associate a red mustang with the word "pony"?

Will UNT grads know to associate an arrow with the word "up"?

The next reply from an SMU fan:

I will confess my ignorance here and now. When I saw the graphic, I had no idea what it was supposed to mean so I asked the guy in the football office what it was and he said, "Pony Up" with this kind of expression on his face > :rolleyes:

That just made me smile.

Amazing. I mean, seriously. For them, a school with that much money and no one anywhere can think of, or buy, something better. For us, a school that claims to be artsy and creative....

Amazing.

but the great RV chose this slogan!!!!! :angry:

How dare you sir. How dare you indeed.

The phrase "Pony Up" is usually associated with paying a debt or great expense... which I'm sure trust fund baby SMU students understand perfectly. :rolleyes:

Saying this new slogan "sucks" might be the understatement of the year. Then again maybe us state University Grads are not sophisticated enough to understand it.

Don't you know... if you don't spend 30k a year for your education then you must have the IQ of a houseplant.

Those of us who actually work for our education know the opposite is true.

Amazing.

And our school is. But those aren't the people choosing the slogan. As far as I know, anything related to the AD is probably handled at the AD, and the AD doesn't really go looking to pick up kids from the design program. Also, the URCM doesn't do AD work unless it's stuff put into the North Texan.

Hey Bob, remember when the 2004 Red sox had that "Cowboy Up" thing and everyone loved it?

Why yes, Bill I do.

Do you think our university can find a way to butcher it beyond recognition, make the crap slogan at UNT look like Hemingway,and further show the worl that the Richards Group is steaming, giant pile of overrated crap?

I don't know, Bill. Why don't I "pony up" and show you?

If that's their slogan ... can we make these signs for their game as follows:

I was thinking that there could be a shirt made that had their slogan on the front and on the back have pony down and either have our score from last year or a picture of a NT player knocking the f*** out of a SMU player. I beleive there was a picture from last year that had one of our lb's lighting up their qb.

Hey, it's SMU...what did you expect? They never have had "a clue". But, put me down in the camp of those who like the "It's Wide Open" thing! Has oh so many different meanings...but, for me, it says something about how we expect to see some exciting football around UNT...for a change...a VERY good change. See you at Fouts!

I just looked at their thread on the pony board and it looks like they are talking themselves into happy little " Pony Uppers "

The slogan is pretty creative and actually kind of nice. (pardon while I wash my mouth out with soap)

The logo of a pony next to a child's drawing of an arrow pointing up...I think I would kill my self if I were with SMU and had to wear something like that.

      What is this program missing?

      Simple. UNT has never won the conference and doesn't have a signature win that captured the nation attention. No 2-10 Arkansas doesn't count. UNT also needs a Heisman Candidate to be the face of the team. It was ALMOST there with Mason Fine but it was squandered, opportunity after opportunity keep being missed. Until UNT has a marketable face of the team, actually take down P4 opponents and win the conference, the same story will keep repeating itself. UCF had Blake Bortles take them to the Fiesta Bowl and a big run followed by Milton McKenzie beating Auburn. Boise had Kellen Moore, Jared Zanbranski and others followed with wins over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. Cincinatti had a 14-0 run to the Sugar Bowl followed by back to back undefeated runs with Desmond Ridder. Houston had a great 2011 run with Case Keenum where we beat UCLA and Penn State in a January Bowl Game. In 2009 we beat #5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech back to back. In 2015 with Greg Ward Jr, we went 13-1, beat Louisville, Vanderbilt, ranked Navy, ranked Memphis, ranked Temple in the AAC Championship and Florida State in the Peach Bowl 2016, we had Ward back and Ed Oliver and beat Top 5 Oklahoma and Top 5 Louisville on National TV.

      I’m saying after watching primarily bad North Texas football for going on 27 years, that I’m pretty confident we’re not building a championship calibre program here. I know he’s not going to be let go but I think we’re probably wasting our time and continuing to jade our fans. Would love to be wrong on this. And in the time of NIL/Transfer Portal mercenaries, I think you can make a change pretty much when you want and rebuild a roster. Again, we’re not gonna do it, but we could.

      Right now, on the coaching front, we are missing everything except a running backs coach.

      We already have one, and he gives a ton. Got any other options/quick fixes?
